Book chat response

  • What was the journey to the goldfields like? How did people get there? The joinery to the gold fields would have taken a long time to arrive at where they where digging.

 

  • What was life like on the goldfields? What were some challenges that people faced? Life on the goldfields was hard most of them did not have housers they had tents that were to the best thing to live with.

 

  • How were people treated on the goldfields?
    • Well people  were treated really bad  like the Chinese they would have had be said racist comments.
  • What jobs did people have on the goldfields? Which job would you like and why? Lots of people were shop keepers because that was one of the only Jobs they could do.

 

  • What positive learner attributes did people have to show on the goldfields? Share some examples from the story. I think a lot of the showed courage especially the Chinese’s because they had to go through some racist stuff.

 

  • Did the book refer to the Eureka Stockade? If so, describe the event from the main character’s perspective.  How did life in Victoria change as a result of this event the book i read did not really talk about the eureka stockade.

 

  • How did life change in Victoria as a result of the Gold Rush?
  • It change Victoria because a lot of people were coming for gold and to find there fortune.

 

  • How did the Gold Rush impact Indigenous people
  • It did not help Because they were losing there home.

Books I like to read

Hi 5SD,

My favourite genre of book to read is mystery. I enjoy the suspense and trying to guess what will happen next. 
The Fall by Tristan Banks is a great book from this genre. I would recommend this book because I really like the characters, in particular the main character Sam. I am actually reading this at the moment for my book chat book. In the book so far Sam goes to stay with his dad Harry after having an operation. After only being there for a short time, he witnesses a crime and is trying to work out what happened and who was involved. I really like the story so far, but it’s a bit scary at times. 

What is your favourite book genre and why?

Nativity

“Mummy I what my mummy!”shouted the scared Shepherd as he jumped into another shepherds hands as he saw the angle Gabriel.

 In 4T we have just performed the nativity play and I am he to talk to you about the nativity and the process that took to make the nativity.Well it stared of by making our own scripts I did the Elizabeth Scene with Mimi.It was really cool writing the script with Mimi because we discussed what we would write.I think I leant a bit more about the Christmas story the second thing we did was make the props me and a few other people made the sheep one was called Sean and the other one was called Surely.

 Through the process I found had  was learning my lines off by heart and when do I say them.I enjoyed performing the nativity and saying my lies.

Divisibility Rules

We are the near the end of year and have learned many different strategies to help us in all areas of maths. 

One particularly interesting method to help you to divide big numbers can be to know the divisibility rules. 

Each group in our class investigated one and has made a video to share so that we can all learn from each other. 

My group made this one on 6s

Watch my video carefully and answer the final questions.

Just One Day

Agh! This water  is so hard to carry on my head. On Monday we  had a event called Just One Day.

As part of just one day we had no devices and we ate simply. We started off by going into our house groups these were our groups for the day. The first thing we did was experiencing what it is  like in the developing countries. Some of those things included sweeping, soccer, going to school and carrying water on our heads. Ding! Ding! The bell goes for lunch I think I have a normal lunch but then I realise it was just one day.Just one day was a really fun day because we got to experience what it was like in developing country. 

Have you ever had a day different to a normal day at school? What was it?
